A family for Parker

Normally, when I get a phone call to photograph parents meeting their child for the first time, it is a birth. This time was different. This is a family who has adopted a beautiful boy, Parker, from Korea. Leanne left for Korea five days ago and came back today with Parker, her son. Anxiously awating their arrival is big sister, Sloan, and proud daddy. The airport was also full of family and friends patiently waiting to meet Parker. The love, anticipation, happiness and emotions I witnessed today was so beautiful. It actually brought tears to my eyes! Here is a small glimpse of what I captured today.

Sweet embrace.
